Fantastic poll!
Ground Chuck. When I started watching the Hawks in 1986, he was the coach and everything about that era will always be close to my heart. Chuck Knox also put our Seahawks on the map in so many ways and I don't think he gets enough credit for it. First playoff berth, first playoff win, first Conference Championship Game, first Division Championship. He and Mike McCormick also oversaw the uniforms being updated into what I feel are the best looking uniforms in team history: Numbers moved up to the top of the shoulder pads and the awesome Seahawk wrapped around the sleeve. Chuck Knox was not only a great coach, he was a good man. Dave Wyman tells a cool story about the game in Kansas City in 1990 when Dave Kreig was sacked 7 times but the Hawks won it on the last second TD to Paul Skansi. The team was at a bar in the airport having a couple cocktails before boarding the flight when Coach walked in. Everyone kind of tensed up not knowing how Coach Knox would react to everyone drinking. Long story short, Chuck threw down a few hundreds on the bar, picked up the tab and the team partied. Naturally, Pete is a CLOSE second here for obvious reasons, but Chuck Knox really was responsible for pointing the Seahawks organization in the right direction that has helped bring the team to where we are today. One of the most well deserved Ring of Honor recipients and I really hope he makes it into Canton some day.
